Easy Party Appetizers - Sweet Vidalia Onion Dip

At the Amateur Chef we are always searching for great recipes for easy party appetizers, so we were thrilled when we found this amazing Sweet Vidalia Onion Dip appetizer recipe. Vidalia onions, an unusually sweet variety of onions due to the low amount of sulfur in the soil in which the onions are grown, are the key ingredient in this easy appetizer recipe.

The Vidalia onion was first grown near Vidalia, Georgia in the 1930's. In 1986, Georgia's state legislature passed 'the Vidalia Onion Act of 1986' which trademarked the name 'Vidalia Onions' and limited the production area to certain counties in Georgia. Shortly afterwards the Vidalia Onion was named as Georgia's official state vegetable.

Our delicious and easy appetizer recipe for Sweet Vidalia Onion dip uses only 4 ingredients and is best served with an assortment of crackers, nacho chips or thin baguettes slices.

Make extra servings of this amazingly simple appetizer recipe as it is certain to be a hit at your next party.
